HONOLULU <U.R>—Use of anti-
tuberculosis vaccines to combat
divided Hansen's disease (leprosy)
ha i been revealed here, with heart-
ening results which give new hope-
to sufferers and doctors alike.
Hawaii is the site of a Hansen's
disease settlement, located at Ka-
laupapa on the little islwnd of Mo-
lokai.
The microorganism that causes
Hansen's disease belongs to , the
hi me family us the microorganism
that causes tuberculosis.
Hope has been mhed that shots
with vaccine made from tubercu-
losis bacteria may b« used to im-
munize children of Hansen's dis-
ease sufferers from their parents'
malady. The doctors "know that the
mose common spread of the lep-
rous ailment i; within the family.
Children Spared
In Hawaii, children of Hansen's
disease sufferers are separated
from their parents immediately
ifter birth, u«der supervision of
the territorial health department.
None of the children has since de-
veloped the disease.
H'.in sen's disease bacteria will
not grow in a test tube, but the
related tuberculosis bacteria will.

French scientists, the local re-
searchers have sensitized sheep
cells to tuberculosis products. The
sensitized red cells, mixed with

Biggest Hangover
On In New Orleans!
NEW ORLEANIS, Feb. 18 tU.R>—f
This city would boast of the world's I
biggest collective hangover on I
Wednesday as Ash Wednesday's
dawn ended one of its gayest Mardi I
Gins and signalled 40 days of pen-1
itence.
The faithfal halted their merri-
ment when cathedral bellB sum-
moned them Tuesday midnight tol
avow their a-efcentenc^ ceremonial-
ly and m the wee hours the lust
revelers departed from French |
Quarter bars.
Police reported an "unusuurt
number of persons among the I
throng of neary I million cele-j
blunts had>become intoxicated long
before the day-long climax of the
carnival season was over and fell |
asleep in doorways.
But authorities said there had I
been no major disturbance during!
what one policeman culled "one of
the most savage days I have seen."
Police said some 100 children
who got lost were found, scores of
others who received minor hurts
were on the mend, and the parade
routes of King Rex and his Zulu
miniicker were turned over to the I
street cleaneri.
The day was marked by trag-
edy, however, when Phillip W.
Stiwtton Jr., 1!), fell to his death !
from one of the floats during a |
procession.
